Mitt is running strong, and has room to close the election in the last few weeks.
But its not a surprise that he’s tied now. The fact is media corruption is far greater than its ever been.
Lets look at the election in 1980. Imagine for a moment if in 1980 the american voters did not know anything about the iranian hostage crisis, did not know the unemployment rate, did not know the true cost of the interest rates.... or the inflation rate numbers.
In 1980 the news media reported those facts, and people knew them.
Today’s media doesnt’ report those facts at all. And people have no idea of what Obama’s presidency is doing to the nation.
Exactly. Bad economic news is reported as a “mixed message on the economy” while mixed economic news is reported as “good news” and good news is reported as “thanks to Obama.” And if all fails, blame Bush.
If I have seen one red flag from the Romney campaign team, it was during the convention when one consultant on the team mentioned that they didn't need to tell people what Obama did because they already know. That is a paraphrase, but it scared the pants off me. You hit it on the head. The media and Obama are focused on tying anything bad to the past, and the average voter does NOT know all the facts about his record. If they don't tie his policies to the current situation, they probably can't win.
